| What can come after Apogee Divas ? I'm replacing my Divas with...Full Ranges ;^) (although Soundlabs would be the next best option) | |
| Why do people selling on E Bay "USE" Audiogon? I'm with Jenney on this one. It has nothing to do with "winning", it has to do with the deal. Folks here are more honest and more knowledgeable. We love our equipment, take care of it, and want it to go to someone who will take care of and enjoy i... | |
| Tightening binding posts problem X-terminators add an interface level and, while convenient, slightly veil the sound.The AQ binding post tool is the goods - highly recommended. If you cannot tighten them even with a socket or the AQ tool, something may be broken as Ncarv points o... | |
| Seeking Great Cool Runnin' SS Amp... The Plinius might be your amp. It has a bias switch that allows you to run the amp in AB (my 250 runs only mildly warm in that mode) or in full Class A (blast furnace). So you may only need one amp for summer and winter!The Llanos run pretty warm ... | |
| Can you ever have too much power? Being a confirmed fan of Class A (Sumo, NEW, Classe, Atma-Sphere, Llano and now Plinius) and planar speakers (ML, Soundlab and now Apogees), power is a major issue in my audio life. I don't believe you can have too much. Having said that, there ar... | |
| Low-powered, multichannel amp? Natalie - this is for a friend and the budget is roughly $2K for a complete system. The Parasound rec below is in line with what he's looking for. I am using monoblocks in my HT/Audio system - I have 4 pair that I swap in and out, depending on my ... | |
| Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker Ed - I have seen a pair of CLSs (not sure what model) in painted white (seemed to be factory, but maybe done by owner), with black grills - ugly to me, but to each his own. Most factories won't use maple because it's pretty soft and damages easily... | |
| Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker Any thoughts on the CLS vs. CLS II vs. CLSIIz? | |
| Larger Apogee's: Do they beam ? As implied above, any "beaming" by Apogees is relative to your room size, listening distance and setup. The larger Apos have few problems with standing vs. sitting anomalies (not truly a 'venetian blind' effect, which is associated with electrosta... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing "Lively Up Yourself" Bob/Wailers. Not only a must-sing, but a must-dance, too. | |
| best used amp for 300- 400 Used PS Audio amps (200, 100cx, etc.) run in that price range. They can sound a little hard at times however (although Paul McGowan claimed to have been using ARC electronics to voice his equipment). The Bryston is a good choice, too - I used a 3B... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? I have a black Chow Chow who sits between the speakers and looks at me when I'm listening. If, however, I'm watching a movie, he'll lay the other way and watch. Strange, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. | |
| Best TT/Arm/cartridge combo for 3k Used I'm with Nrchy and Onhwy61 above. There is a used SOTA Star for $500 on the 'gon right now. SOTA is still in business and can update/check out the table for a very good price. Put a reasonable arm on it (Rega is a good choice, I have an ET2 on min... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" Thanks for the sellers' perspectives above. I've only sold a few items here, I'm primarily a buyer. If the price is firm and fair, I pay it; if offers are being accepted, I offer what it's worth to me at that time. That may not be what the seller ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I'm still using my old preamps phono section (PS Audio 5.6), but the Phonomena comes highly recommended from one of the biggest analog-philes I know. |
